Hi Kenny and Steve,
Thanks so much for the info and the incredibly warm welcome.
Kenny, I’ll definitely give the fellowship some thought, and the class has my interest peaked. If I decide that is the direction I’d like to go, I’ll definitely reach out, and I understand that the class has limited number, so if I snooze, there’s a chance I’ll lose.
Steve, you’re absolutely right that my initial desire to avoid the parks is related to concern over crowds. I was at Bennett Springs last year for a family camping trip, and it felt like folks were almost shoulder to shoulder. I’ve also been through Maramec Springs a few times and noticed it being kind of crowded. However, as someone recently pointed out to me, they’re likely a lot less crowded during catch and release season and there’s also the chance I can make it there on a Friday which might be less crowded then the weekends.
Thank you both for your time, the thought you put into your posts, and the warm welcome.
-Jack
